2.Control Elements and ConnectorsThis chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.
2.1 Mono channels
2.1.1 Microphone and line inputs
EQ
The upper (HI) and the lower band (LO) are shelving filters that increase or decrease all frequencies above or below their
LOW CUT
In addition, the mono channels (UB1002 and UB1202) are equipped with a steep LO CUT filter (slope at 18 dB/oct.,
2.1.3 FX sends, panorama and level adjustment

MIC
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via the XLR connector and also features a switchable +48 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones.
◊Please mute your playback system before you activate the phantom power supply to prevent
LINE IN
Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a 1/4" connector. Unbalanced devices (mono jacks) can also be connected to these inputs.
◊Please remember that you can only use either the microphone or the line input of a channel at any one time. You can never use both simultaneously!
GAIN
Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counterclockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.

FX (UB802/UB1002/UB1202 only)
FX sends (or AUX sends) enable you to feed signals via a variable control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a bus. The bus appears at the console’s FX send output and can be fed from there to an external effects device. The return from the effects unit is then brought back into the console on the aux return connectors (UB802) or normal channel inputs. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain.
As the name suggests, the FX sends of the EURORACK mixing consoles are intended to drive effects devices (reverb, delay, etc) and are therefore configured
PAN
The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. This control features a
LEVEL
The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix.
CLIP
The CLIP LED’s of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could cause distortion. If this happens, use the GAIN control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not light anymore.
